YT Announces The IZZO A Short Travel 29" Shredder

April 17,2020–Forchheim, Germany:YT is shaking things up and their portfolio has an added dimension now by introducing asharp-looking trail bike to the family. The IZZO is born! The carbon-framed 130 mm-travel trail bikewith 29-inch wheelsfills a void for YT and is destined touncork Good Times forriders onafter-work rides through local woodlandsas well asduringtrans alpine adventures.Possibly the fastest, most agile and sharpest, but certainly the raddest bike introduction of the year:

YT’s lightest bikeis set for adventures both big and smallAfter downhill, enduroand all-mountain the direct brand bringstheir first trail bike to the mix. As both the CAPRA (180mm/180mm & 170mm/170mm travel) and the JEFFSY (160mm/160mm & 150mm/150mm travel) boast increased travel across the range for 2020, the IZZO (130mm/130mm travel) perfectly caters for those riders out there looking to ride trails and embrace the uphill just as much as the downhill –no matter where they are in the world. The IZZO is YT’s lightweight contender and comes in four model variations: IZZO Launch Edition (12.0 kg, limited to 150 pieces in Europe & USA), IZZO Pro Race (12.1 kg), IZZO Pro (12.6 kg), IZZO Comp (13.2 kg). Inspired by the sleek and simple design, yet impressive precision and effectiveness of the Katana sword used by Samurai in ancient Japan, the IZZO has been developed to be a fast, agile and sharp bike in both form and function.

The IZZO has been constructed to defy all challenges a trail ride can throw your way. The key aspects of development were uphill climbing ability, pedal efficiency and weight, while still considering the fun-loving YT DNA. Each model is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL spanning a reach from 429 mm to 513 mm, and every model variation has the exact same high-performance carbon frame. The cutting edge climbing characteristics of the bike are courtesy of a steep seat tube angle of 69°/69.5° (act) paired with low stack height and low weight. This combination will let riders conquer grueling uphill climbs with ease. The geometry can also be adjusted thanks to the Flip Chip, which drops the BB by 5 mm and results in a 0.5°-slacker head and seat tube angle. The playful YT feel is ensured thanks to an active, progressive suspension –YT’s first 4-bar suspension linkage by the way –and the relatively short chainstays that differ for sizes S to L (432 mm) and XL to XXL (437 mm). This progressive but not overly aggressive and well-balanced geometry, paired with a great kit, will ensure Good Times on backyard trails and long days in the saddle alike.

“We created the Izzo for people that love to ride mountain bikes in the original spirit of mountain biking. Get outthere, go far, go hard, go long, and get lost.It’s a lightweight, great pedaling bike that encourages you to just go. While it is light and efficient, it’s still a ton of fun on DH and tech sections. We wanted to build a bike that was just as fun and capable on climbs and flats as it is on downhills. A lot of riders love to push their limits and endurance, explore new trails, and ride all day. We built this bike for those riders. And for ourselves.”–Chris Hilton, CTO YT Industries

Let’s be honest: not all of us can boast the luxury of having mountainous terrain on our doorstep. With that in mind, the IZZO has been developed and spec’d with lighter tires and rims and 130 mm travel to deliver the perfect performance balance for the trail category. The Launch Edition is limited to 150 bikes worldwide, and boasts high-performance and high-tech components, while the unique colorway is a feast for your eyes. Both a FOX 34 Float Factory fork and FOX Float DPS Factory rear suspension deliver the goods when the terrain gets rough. The premium SRAM Eagle AXS drivetrain guarantees effortless, cableless shifting and the AXS package is rounded off with the SRAM Reverb AXS. The Pro Race, Pro and Comp models come with variations of FOX 34 fork, FOX Float DPS rear suspension, SRAM drivetrains and brakes, and with the FOX Transfer Factory or YT Postman dropper posts to complete the package. Both the newly designed Thirstmaster 5000 (835 ml) and the Thirstmaster 4000 (600 ml) FID LOCK bottle fit in the frame snugly and willensure you always stay hydrated when out on a ride. An adapter also offers the choice of fitting a regular bottle cage as well, to suit all rider’s needs. Bolts below the top tube allow for fixing a utility belt to carry spares and tools to help you on the trailside. Custom to YT’s way of taking care of details, maintenance and servicing are simple, thanks to the ‘single sided hardware access’ enabling the suspension linkage and rear triangle hardware to be installed and removed from the same side. The ‘race-specific advanced sealing concept’ and ‘axial-lip-seal’ prolong the service life of the IZZO, thanks to additional seals that protect the double-sealed full complement bearings and keep water and dirt at bay.

YT Announces The Decoy E-Bike Line

Forchheim, Germany: With the DECOY bike manufacturer YT Industries brings their first E - MTB to the market and pro ves that the brand can also build toys with batteries that own the steeze. With an iconic design, innovative technologies and an unbeatable performance on the trail , YT interprets the E - MTB topic in its very own way and guarantees customers even more fun while riding.

Three models of the DECOY can be pre - ordered from today on via the webshop www.yt - industries.com . T he fir st batch will be available mid of M ay. An E - MTB from YT? Seriously? Those don’t g o together. Forget about it! Whoever thinks that E - MTBs are for old or lazy people has really missed the boat. Until now! The drop of the brand new DECOY will be a wake up call even for the hardest doubters, will demonstrate the mountainbike world what's possible with an E - MTB and that they are incredibly fun to ride. And for that reason alone they are a perfect fit for YT.

“ It's like downhill with a built - in shuttle" The DECOY opens up a new world of mountain biking. It lets you go further and discover new trails that you would never have ridden before, and it also lets you really make the most of your time on the bike – all of which means more fun. With the DECOY you will mast er climbs that you have never even attempted with another mountain bike, promised!

It's a YT: downhill - genes uncaged An E - MTB from YT must first and foremost be able to prove itself worthy of its downhill genes. That's why, just like on all bikes, YT relies on their proven and award - winning V4L (Virtual 4 Link) rear suspension linkage t hat literally sticks your bike to the ground, but still has enough pop to launch off every root and enjoy the airtime. The 165 mm of rear travel combined with our new - school geometry creates a trail weapon with extra power, the likes of which you have neve r seen before. Additionally, YT have minimized the pedal kick - back to avoid any negative influences on the suspension action.

New - School - Geometr y unites ergonomics and performance The geometry of the DECOY delivers consistent performance on long rides and on every trail, whether uphill, downhill, technical or steep. The steep seat tube angle and the long chainstays ensure awesome climbing performance while the slack head angle settl es the bike’s handling and gives you a feeling of control when things get steep and fast. The dynamic reach balances the bike perfectly and makes sure the overall length is kept in check. As a result, the center of gravity is deep and leaves you feeling li ke you’re sitting in the bike, with a perfect mix of stability and agility at your disposal. The Flip Chip lets you adjust the BB height as well as the head tube and seat tube angles to adapt the geometry to your preferences and your type of terrain.

YT Decoy Geometry

Technical features: creative solutions The 540 Wh battery of the DECOY is YTs own development. For dependable performance and long lasting power, it comes with thirty battery cells of the very latest technology – in fact the very same type of cells that Tesla features in their cars. The battery is fully integrated in the downtube, held in place by two dedicated bolts and can be charged both on and off the bike. Powering the 250 watts Shimano STEPS E8000 engine the DECOY masters even the steepest trails. The eng ine runs silent, is one of the lightest engines on the market (2.8 kg) and, thanks to its slim design, is ideally integrated into the frame. The lightweight and compact Shimano STEPS E7000 display lets you choose between three support modes and achieve a r ange of about 100 km (Eco) with the DECOY. As usual, YT also put a lot of love into the details that really make the difference. Technical features such as internal cable routing, double - sealed bearings and integrated frame protection not only emphasize th e high quality standards of the brand, but also simplify the handling and maintenance of the bike and extend the lifetime of the DECOY.

29” & 27,5”: Best of both wheels Just like on a motocross, the DECOY makes use of two different wheelsizes on the same bike – the best of two worlds. The 27.5” rear wheel is fitted with a 2.8” tire that can be run with lower pressure without becoming unstable, which creates a larger contact patch that in re turn generates massive grip. Up front, the 29” wheel with its 2.4” tire is sharp and direct enough to let you carve through every turn with precision.

Progressive design Design plays an important role in the development of new models at YT. Just look at the DECOY: With the E - Enduro you can join any group of mountain bikers without sticking out like a sore thumb. It just looks damn good! The design language is progressive, clean and expresses perfectly both the technological competence and the high quality standards of the brand. From the integrated recharg eable battery to the volume - matched tube sets, the compact display and the material and color design: The DECOY bears the distinctive signature of the YT designers, both inside and out, and thus blends in optically with the existing YT range.

DECOY range Three built kits of the DECOY are available, each in five frame sizes from S to XXL. Every model is equipped with YTs custom 540 Wh battery, Shimano's STEPS E8000 engine and E7000 display.

CF Pro Race At the very top of the range, the DECOY CF Pro Race is the right choice if you are looking for a lightweight E - MTB with high - end components, and maximum adjustability. The FOX 36 Float Factory 29” E - Bike+ fork featuring 160 mm of travel and the FOX Float X2 Factory are Kashima - coated and offer first - class d amping, control, and adjustability. The electronic XT Di2 transmission provides lightning quick and precise shifting across the 11 gears of the e*thirteen TRS Plus cassette. The lightweight e*spec Race carbon wheels keep the weight down while ensuring stab ility, traction and security at the same time thanks to the 29”/27.5” size combo. SRAM’s powerful Code RSC brakes have been paired up with 200 mm Centerline rotors to guarantee the best possible braking performance, while the seamlessly adjustable FOX Tran sfer Factory dropper post and Renthal’s 800 mm wide Fatbar 35 handlebar round out this top - shelf build in style.

CF Pro The DECOY CF Pro is equipped with the high - performance FOX 36 Float Performance Elite 29“ E - Bike+ fork with 160 mm of travel as well as the FOX Float DPX2 Performance Elite shock. The Shimano XT transmission ensures precise shifting across the wide - range, 9 - 46T TRS Plus cassette from e*thirteen, while SRAM’s Code RS brakes provide reliable stopping power in any situation. E*thirteen‘s e*s pec Plus wheels deliver speed, stability, traction and security at the same time thanks to the 29”/27.5” size combo. The SDG Tellis dropper post and the 800 mm Renthal Fatbar 35 complete the build of the CF Pro and make it the right choice for those who ar e looking for an E - MTB with a high - performance motor as well as high - end components, but who prefer mechanical shifting.

CF Base The DECOY CF Base marks the entry into the YT E - MTB category. Featuring a carbon main triangle with an aluminum rear end, the CF Base comes equipped with the RockShox Yari RC 29” DebonAir E - MTB fork with 160 mm of travel and the RockShox Deluxe R shock. Th e XT transmission from Shimano ensures precise shifting, while the SRAM Code R brakes with their 200 mm Centerline rotors can always be counted on to slow you down when you need to. Up front, the DT SWISS HI900 SPLINE wheels in 29” size bring speed and sta bility, while the 27.5” Plus version out back provides extra traction and security. The SDG Tellis dropper post and the 800 mm Race Face Aeffect R 35 handlebar complete the DECOY CF Base build.
